Waven Tier List – Best Classes/Characters

So you’ve just started playing Waven and aren’t sure which characters are good? Well, you’re in luck, as that’s exactly what our Waven tier list is here to help with. In this very guide, we rank all of the classes from S tier to D tier, with S being best and D being worst. That way, you can focus on filling out your party with S and A tiers to ensure that you perform well, skipping the B-D tiers. We’ll also include a description of the tiers so you know what they actually mean.

Waven is a free to play tactical multiplayer RPG that features gorgeous art, expansive character building, and immersive lore. Choose a class to play and embark on a brand-new journey as you battle against monsters with your elemental abilities. Take part in exciting PvE combat or test your skills against fellow players in PvP!

You can learn more about it on the official Steam page. We also recommend checking out our Levistone Story tier list, Eternal Evolution tier list, and Blue Archive tier list.

What’s A Tier List?

We should probably have answered this question at the beginning, eh? A tier list is, quite simply, a list of all of the characters in a specific game ranked from best to worst. In our case, S is the best characters with D being the worst, and A, B, and C filling the gaps.

The purpose of a tier list is to help you determine which characters to use at all stages of the game. We try and make our tier list as useful as possible by explaining our tier system.

For example, there are instances where certain characters are excellent during the beginning of a game, but fade later on. Or, they could be good at a certain game mode. We’ll always try and make this clear.

What Do Our Tiers Mean?

• Here’s a brief explanation of each of our tiers:
  S Tier: Classes in this tier are the absolute best that the game has to offer. You should prioritise unlocking these and increasing their power. One of these can carry you through the entire game, and a full party will make most of the endgame content trivial – provided you focus on growing their power.
• A Tier: If your collection is lacking in S tiers, A tiers are great for filling gaps. These classes are still great in their own right, but they just lack a little something when you compare them to an S tier. Use them when you need to, but drop them when you can.
• B Tier: During the early phases of the game, you’ll likely rely on a party of a single S tier and a bunch of B tiers. These classes are quite easy to get, and are solid, if unremarkable. Definitely swap them out for A tiers and S tiers, but don’t be ashamed to use them if you need to.
• C Tier: This is when we get into ‘bad class’ territory. C tiers are, much like D tiers, some of the worst classes in the game, but they often have niche uses. They might be really strong in a particular game mode, or during a certain phase of the game. Take a close look at their skills and judge accordingly.
• D Tier: Classes in this tier are simply never worth using. They’re the worst classes in the game, suffering from severe balance issues, and will underperform at all points in any modes. Don’t use them if you can avoid it.

How Did We Select Our Waven Tier List?

We used a number of different sources when selecting our Waven tier list, but, primarily, we judge based on our personal experience with the game. As a result, it is bound to be quite a subjective list, but there’s no getting around that.

To determine the rankings, we both experiment with the classes in the game (if unlocked), as well as theory-craft based on skill descriptions and raw statistics. That’s why you’ll see our tier list change so much when a game first launches, as we’re in the testing phase.

It’s also worth noting that we do scour communities, like Reddit, for community feedback. If the general consensus is that a specific class is strong or weak, we will reflect that in our tier list. That way, it’s got a certain degree of objectivity.

We’ll wrap this section up by reminding you that tier lists are subjective by nature. Your experience may vary completely to ours, so take it with a pinch of salt.

When Do We Update Our Waven Tier List?

You can expect to see an update to our Waven tier list whenever a new class is introduced. It might take us a while to test the class for ourselves though, so expect a brief delay.

We also update the list whenever a big balance patch hits, as this will throw the meta out the window. Again, there may be a brief delay as we experiment with the changes and update our rankings.
